Whatever you think about most, is what you worship. You can easily discover what other people worship by observing their words, behaviors, and actions. Do they work non stop, then talk non stop about work when they are “off?” Do they listen to music 24/7, and feel naked without their headphones? Do they obsess about their new boyfriend and constantly check his twitter and instagram for new updates? Are they on Facebook all the time and get irritated when they have to put the phone or tablet away? Does he say he’s really into you, then plays video games and ignores you?

These are all examples of worship. Where you put your time and attention tells everyone what you are about. Do you need to balance some of your activities? What if you put the same amount of time that you spend on Facebook into your relationship; would it change? What if you worked even half as much as you played video games or listened to music; would you have more money? What if you volunteered as much as you gossiped; would you feel more fulfilled?

People often get obsessive about what they are doing without even realizing it. Then they can become addicted to the feelings of importance, or connection.  Be careful of people who say one thing, yet worship another. For example, a “friend” may say they hate drama, yet they are the first to share gossip. Or, someone might tell you that they rarely get on Facebook yet they have 100 posts per day! Look for signs of worship more than you listen to the words of lip service!

Be careful what YOU worship as well, it may lead you down a lonely road only to find that nobody is waiting for you at the end. Find your balance, spend time with people you love, do NO harm to others, fully participate in life and Live Inspired Now!

    Such a great reminder!! It is sometimes so hard to find a healthy balance in life. I find many more days than not…I worship laziness lately!! It seems to take me more time and effort than wver before to get up and do the daily routines in life. Im happy, dont get me wrong. But, I would be much more comfortable in a organized and clean environment! Thanks for the inspiration!!
